Burning Wild by Christine Feehan
5.0
Burning Wild is book 3 in the Leopard People series.
Jake didn’t have the easiest start in life.
All he knew while growing up was abuse and punishment. He was never shown any love or affection by his parents. The only person who showed him any kindness was his great-grandfather.
As he gets older he learns how to take control and gain power. He is highly driven, and refuses to let his enemies (his parents) as he calls them, determine his future.
When Jake learns that a woman he was seeing, deliberately gets pregnant and that she has been manipulating him he is not happy but he is determined to be there for his child as there is no way he is letting his parents near his son who has yet to be born.
Events happen where his son Kyle is born prematurely in a car accident that killed his mother, and another couple was also seriously affected.
Emma loses her husband of only five months in the car accident. Emma is grieving the loss of her husband while coming to grips with the fact that she will now be a single mother, as she had just found out that she was pregnant.
Jake feels a connection to Emma the minute he looks into her eyes and doesn't want to lose her. He comes up with a plan to make her stay with him while he can find ways to tie her to him and make her not want to leave him.
He convinces her to come home with him and help take care of his son, and with very little money, and no one to help her, she agrees.
You get little time jumps to the birth of Emma's baby girl Andraya and then the following two years where Jake and Emma draw closer together, and their friendship eventually turns into a relationship filled with passion.
However, there are enemies who will stop at nothing to destroy Jake and their family.
You get to meet a few side characters who do get their own books.
Conner Vega - read book 4, Wild Fire
Drake Donovan - read book 5, Savage Nature
Joshua Tregre - read book 10, Leopards Blood
You also meet Evan (surname unknown), and I'm keeping my fingers crossed he eventually gets his own book.
